Kane gave up a goal because he was distracted by Taylor Swift

Patrick, Patrick, Patrick.  It appears that he once gave up a goal because he was distracted by Taylor Swift who was watching the game.

Not that you can blame him.

The story was shared during the Blackhawks Convention this past weekend.  There were a number of panels with players answering questions and sharing stories.

Second City Hockey shares this summary courtesy of Denis Savard:

Savard had a couple fun anecdotes about Kane; how Kane used to attempt a spinorama but fail to score on it, and when he finally did Savard texted him reminding him how many he had to score to catch up with Savard.

Another, rather topical story: rookie Kane lost his guy on the backcheck, leading to a goal against.

Savard yelled at him that he must have been distracted, looking at two pretty blonde girls who were sitting behind the bench.

After the game Kane was late getting to the team bus because he was talking to the same girls and got yelled at again. The next day Kane went to Savard’s office to give his defense: “You know who the two girls were? One of them was Taylor Swift.” Savard still didn’t know who Taylor Swift was and had to ask his wife.
